The new model has two powertrains options－a 2-liter naturally aspired engine with 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with 7-speed dual clutch transmission. The 1.6T DCT has a maximum output of 130 kW and peak torque of 265 nm, and consumes 6.9 to 7.2 liters of fuel every 100 Km.

The company offers eight variants, and the top two 1.6T DCT variants are equipped with the 4-Wheel-Drive mode with cross-axle differential lock. The driver can switch the drive mode to go off-road.

Fifty-one percent of the car body is forged with super high-tensile steel, and its safety features include a tire pressure monitoring system, six airbags, rearview camera, blind spot detection, lane departure warning system and smart parking assistant.
